Notice of modification of Network Rail Infrastructure Limited's network licence

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (Network Rail) has been granted a network licence (the network licence) under section 8 of the Railways Act 1993 (the Act). In accordance with section 12(2) of the Act on 16 October 2012 I gave notice of our intention to modify that network licence.¹

The Office of Rail Regulation’s (ORR’s) notice set out the reasons for the modification and its effect. I required any representations or objections to be made on or before 13 November 2012. On 9 November 2012 this deadline was extended until 23 November 2012.

ORR has considered the representations and objections which were received during the consultation period and which were not withdrawn. The only issue raised of note, which has resulted in an amendment to the Rail Delivery Group articles of association, was explained in my letter dated 18 January 2013.² As a result no changes are proposed to the licence modification consulted on and to which Network Rail has given its consent.

Under section 12(1) of the Act I therefore modify the network licence by adding new condition 25 ‘Rail Delivery Group’ as set out in the schedule to this notice.

I will place a copy of this letter on our website and public register. We will also update the licence on our website.

Yours sincerely

Michael Beswick
